ΚΑΘΕΔΡΙΚΟΣ ΝΑΟΣ ΝΕΑΣ ΑΓΓΛΙΑΣ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΣΜΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΘΕΟΤΟΚΟΥ ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL OF NEW ENGLAND Rev. Fr. Demetrios E. Tonias, Ph.D., Cathedral Dean η Ὀκτωβρίου,βιζ Γ ΛΟΥΚΑ 3rd Sunday of Luke 8 October 2017 Ἀπολυτίκια Ἦχος α Τοῦ λίθου σφραγισθέντος ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ στρατιωτῶν φυλασσόντων τὸ ἄχραντόν σου Σῶμα, ἀνέστης τριήμερος Σωτήρ, δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὴν ζωήν διὰ τοῦτο αἱ Δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν ἐβόων σοι ζωοδότα. Δόξα τῇ Ἀναστάσει σου Χριστέ, δόξα τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου, δόξα τῇ οἰκονομίᾳ σου, μόνε φιλάνθρωπε. Ἠχος πλ. δ. Τῆς Ὁσίας. Ἐν σοὶ Μῆτερ ἀκριβῶς διεσώθη τὸ κατ' εἰκόνα λαβοῦσα γὰρ τὸν σταυρόν, ἠκολούθησας τῷ Χριστῷ, καὶ πράττουσα ἐδίδασκες ὑπερορᾶν μὲν σαρκὸς παρέρχεται γάρ, ἐπιμελεῖσθαι δὲ ψυχῆς, πράγματος ἀθανάτου διὸ καὶ μετὰ Ἀγγέλων συναγάλλεται Ὁσία Πελαγία, τὸ πνεῦμά σου. Ἦχος δ Σήμερον τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν τὸ κεφάλαιον, καὶ τοῦ ἀπ αἰῶνος μυστηρίου ἡ φανέρωσις ὁ Υἷός του Θεοῦ, υἱὸς τῆς Παρθένου γίνεται, καὶ Γαβριὴλ τὴν χάριν εὐαγγελίζεται. Διὸ καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ, τῇ Θεοτόκῳ βοήσωμεν Χαῖρε Κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετά σοῦ. Κοντάκιον Ἦχος βʹ Προστασία τῶν Χριστιανῶν ἀκαταίσχυντε, μεσιτεία, πρὸς τὸν Ποιητὴν ἀμετάθετε, μὴ παρίδῃς, Dismissal Hymns Mode 1 When the stone had been sealed by the Jews, and the soldiers were guarding Your immaculate body, You rose on the third day, O Savior, granting to the world life; and when the powers of heaven, cried out to You O Giver of Life. Glory to Your resurrection O Christ, glory to your Kingdom, glory to Your dispensation, O lover of mankind. Mode pl. 4. For the Devout Woman. In you, O Mother, is preserved undistorted what was made in the image of God; for taking up the cross, you followed Christ and by example taught, that we should overlook the flesh, since it passes away, and instead look after the soul, since it is immortal. And therefore, O devout Pelagia, your spirit rejoices with the angels. Mode 4 Today mark s the crow ning of our salvation and the revelation of the mystery before all ages. For the Son of God becomes the son of the Virgin, and Gabriel proclaims the grace. Wherefore, we also cry out with him, "Hail, O full of grace, the Lord is with you.

ἁμαρτωλῶν δεήσεων φωνάς, ἀλλὰ πρόφθασον, ὡς ἀγαθή, εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν, τῶν πιστῶς κραυγαζόντων σοι Τάχυνον εἰς πρεσβείαν, καὶ σπεῦσον εἰς ἱκεσίαν, ἡ προστατεύουσα ἀεί, Θεοτόκε, τῶν τιμώντων σε. do not despise the voices of our prayers, but anticipate, since you are good, and swiftly come unto our aid as we cry out to you with faith: Hurry to intercession, and hasten to supplication, O Theotokos who defend now and ever those who honor you. Ἀπόστολος Β Κορ.. θ 6-11 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, ὁ σπείρων φειδομένως, φειδομένως καὶ θερίσει, καὶ ὁ σπείρων ἐπ' εὐλογίαις ἐπ' εὐλογίαις καὶ θερίσει. Ἕκαστος καθὼς προαιρεῖται τῇ καρδίᾳ, μὴ ἐκ λύπης ἢ ἐξ ἀνάγκης ἱλαρὸν γὰρ δότην ἀγαπᾷ ὁ Θεός. Δυνατὸς δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πᾶσαν χάριν περισσεῦσαι εἰς ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἐν παντὶ πάντοτε πᾶσαν αὐτάρκειαν ἔχοντες περισσεύητε εἰς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν, καθὼς γέγραπται 'Εσκόρπισεν, ἔδωκε τοῖς πένησιν, ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Ὁ δὲ ἐπιχορηγῶν σπέρμα τῷ σπείροντι καὶ ἄρτον εἰς βρῶσιν χορηγήσαι καὶ πληθύναι τὸν σπόρον ὑμῶν καὶ αὐξήσει τὰ γενήματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης ὑμῶν ἐν παντὶ πλουτιζόμενοι εἰς πᾶσαν ἁπλότητα, ἥτις κατεργάζεται δι' ἡμῶν εὐχαριστίαν τῷ Θεῷ. Brethren, the point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever." He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. Εὐαγγέλιον Λουκ. ζ 11-16 Luke 7:11-16 Gospel Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἐπορεύετο ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς πόλιν καλουμένην Ναΐν καὶ συνεπορεύοντο αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἱκανοὶ καὶ ὄχλος πολύς. ὡς δὲ ἤγγισε τῇ πύλῃ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς υἱὸς μονογενὴς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὕτη ἦν χήρα, καὶ ὄχλος τῆς πόλεως ἱκανὸς ἦν σὺν αὐτῇ. καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν ὁ Κύριος ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ' αὐτῇ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Μὴ κλαῖε καὶ προσελθὼν ἥψατο τῆς σοροῦ, οἱ δὲ βαστάζοντες ἔστησαν, καὶ εἶπε Νεανίσκε, σοὶ λέγω, ἐγέρθητι. καὶ ἀνεκάθισεν ὁ νεκρὸς καὶ ἤρξατο λαλεῖν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ. ἔλαβε δὲ At that time, Jesus went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his Continued on next page

Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!" Venerable Pelagia the Penitent Saint Pelagia the Penitent was converted to Christianity by Saint Nonnus, Bishop of Edessa (Saturday of Cheesefare Week). Before her acceptance of Christianity through Baptism, Pelagia was head of a dance troupe in Palestinian Antioch, living a life of frivolity and prostitution. One day Pelagia, elegantly dressed, was making her way past a church where Saint Nonnus was preaching a sermon. Believers turned their faces away from the sinner, but the bishop glanced after her. Struck by the outer beauty of Pelagia and having foreseen the spiritual greatness within her, the saint prayed in his cell for a long time to the Lord for the sinner. He told his fellow bishops that the prostitute put them all to shame. He explained that she took great care to adorn her body in order to appear beautiful in the eyes of men. We... take no thought for the adornment of our wretched souls, he said. On the following day, when Saint Nonnus was teaching in the church about the dread Last 8 October Judgment and its consequences, Pelagia came. The teaching made a tremendous impression upon her.with the fear of God and weeping tears of repentance, she asked the saint for Baptism. Seeing her sincere and full repentance, Bishop Nonnus baptized her. By night the devil appeared to Pelagia, urging her to return to her former life. The saint prayed, signed herself with the Sign of the Cross, and the devil vanished. Three days after her baptism, Saint Pelagia gathered up her valuables and took them to Bishop Nonnus. The bishop ordered that they be distributed among the poor saying, Let this be wisely dispersed, so that these riches gained by sin may become a wealth of righteousness. After this Saint Pelagia journeyed to Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives. She lived there in a cell, disguised as the monk Pelagius, living in ascetic seclusion, and attaining great spiritual gifts. When she died, she was buried in her cell. He touched, it says, the bier and said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise. How was not a word enough for raising him who was lying there? What is so difficult to it or past accomplishment? What is more powerful than the Word of God? Why then did he not work the miracle by only a word but also touched the bier? It was, my beloved, that you might learn that the holy body of Christ is productive for the salvation of man. The flesh of the almighty Word is the body of life and was clothed with his might. Consider that iron when brought into contact with fire produces the effects of fire and fulfills its functions. The flesh of Christ also has the power of giving life and annihilates the influence of death and corruption because it is the flesh of the Word, who gives life to all. St. Cyril of Alexandria

Ἡ Ὁσία Πελαγία Ζοῦσε στὴν Ἀντιόχεια καὶ ἀνῆκε στὴν τάξη τῶν ἐ αφρῶν γυναικών. Ἦταν πόρνη. Ἡ ζωή της ἦταν βουτηγμένη μέσα στὸν οἶστρο τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν ἡδονῶν. Ἡ ἀκολασία εἶχε πωρώσει τόσο τὴν συνείδησή της, ὥστε καμιὰ ἔννοια μετανοίας νὰ μὴ μπορεῖ νὰ εἰσχωρήσει στὴν ψυχή της. Ἑπομένως, θὰ μποροῦσε νὰ πεῖ κανείς, ἦταν καταδικασμένη ἀπὸ τὴν ἐπίγεια ζωή της στὸ πῦρ τῆς κολάσεως. Ὅμως ὄχι! Ὁ πολυεύσπλαχνος Κύριός μας διαβεβαίωσε ὅτι «αἱ τελώναι καὶ αἱ πόρνοι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ». Δηλαδή, οἱ τελῶνες καὶ οἱ πόρνες, ποὺ στὴν ἀρχὴ ἔδειξαν ἀπείθεια στὸ Νόμο τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀ ὰ κατόπιν εἰ ικρινὰ μετάνιωσαν, προλαμβάνουν στὴ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐσᾶς, ποὺ μόνο μὲ τὰ λόγια δείξατε ὑπακοὴ στὸν Θεό, στὴν πράξη ὅμως ὑπήρξατε ἀπειθεῖς καὶ ἄπιστοι. Πράγματι ἡ Πελαγία τυχαῖα σὲ κάποια σύναξη χριστιανῶν ἄκουσε θερμὸ κήρυγμα περὶ ἁγνότητας, τοῦ ἐπισκόπου Νόννου. Τὰ λόγια του ἤ εγξαν καὶ συγκλόνισαν τὴν ψυχή της. Μὲ τὴν χάρη τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀπαρνήθηκε τὴν ἄσωτη ζωή της, πού ησε τὰ διάφορα κοσμήματά της καὶ τὰ χρήματα τὰ διαμοίρασε στοὺς φτωχούς. 8 Οκτωβρίου Ἀφοῦ κατηχήθηκε καὶ βαπτίσθηκε, μετὰ ὀκτὼ ἡμέρες πῆγε στὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅπου μὲ σκληρὴ ἄσκηση πέρασε τὴν ὑπό οιπη ζωή της. Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος δ. Ὁ ὑψωθεῖς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ. Ἐξ ἀκανθῶν καθάπερ ῥόδον εὐῶδες, τῇ Ἐκκλησίᾳ Πελαγία ἐδείχθης, ταῖς ἐναρέτοις πράξεσιν εὐφραίνουσα ἡμᾶς ὅθεν καὶ προσήγαγες, ὡς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, τῷ σὲ θαυμαστώσαντι, τὸν σὸν βίον Ὁσία. Ὃν ἐκδυσώπει σώζεσθαι ἡμᾶς, παθῶν παντοίων, ψυχῆς τε καὶ σώματος. Κοντάκιον. Ἦχος α. Χορὸς Ἀγγελικός. Πελάγει ἀρετῶν, ἀ ηθῶς ἰσαγγέ ων, τὸ πέ αγος τῶν σῶν, ἐγκλημάτων Ὁσία, πανσόφως ἐβύθισας, καὶ δακρύων τοῖς ῥεύμασιν, ἐναπέπνιξας, τὸν πολυμήχανον ὄφιν ὅθεν ἤστραψας, ὥσπερ λαμπὰς μετανοίας, τὴν κτίσιν φαιδρύνουσα. Μεγαλυνάριον. Φερωνύμως πέ αγος γαληνόν, πλεύσασα Ὁσία, μετανοίας τῆς ἱερᾶς, Μῆτερ Πελαγία, τοῖς ἐν πελάγει βίου, λιμὴν σωτηριώδης, ὤφθης καὶ ἄκλυστος. Although there is grave sin that you cannot wash away yourself with the tears of your penitence, let the mother of the church weep for you. She who intercedes for all as a widowed mother for only sons is she who suffers with the spiritual grief of nature when she perceives her children urged on to death by mortal sins. We are heart of her heart, for there is also a spiritual heart. We are the heart of the church, since we are members of his Body, of his flesh and of his bones. Let the pious mother grieve, let the crowd, too, help. Let not only the crowd but also a multitude feel pity for a good parent. Already at the funeral you will arise, already will you be released from the sepulcher; the attendants at your funeral will stand still, you will begin to speak words of life, all will be afraid; for very many are corrected by the example of one. They will praise God, who has bestowed upon us such great help for the avoidance of death. St. Ambrose of Milan
